Moreover, because the Mahalanobis distance is a chi-square function, as is the SIMCA distance used to define the class space in the SIMCA method (Sect. 4.3), it is possible to use Coomans diagrams (Sect. 4.3) both to visualize the results of modelling and classification (distance from two category centroids) and to compare two different methods (Mahalanobis distance from the centroids versus SIMCA distance). 

This is a simple and commonly used classification algorithm and the classification accuracies are comparable to any other classification. The user in this classification has to provide the mean vectors for each class in each band from the training sets. In this classification distance of each mean vector is calculated for each unknown pixel this distance is calculated using Euchdian distance based on... 

It is usefiil to classify various contributions to intennolecular forces on the basis of the physical phenomena that give rise to them. The first level of classification is into long-range forces that vary as inverse powers of the distance r , and short-range forces that decrease exponentially with distance as m exp(-ar). 

The pore systems of solids are of many different kinds. The individual pores may vary greatly both in size and in shape within a given solid, and between one solid and another. A feature of especial interest for many purposes is the width w of the pores, e.g. the diameter of a cylindrical pore, or the distance between the sides of a slit-shaped pore. A convenient classification of pores according to their average width originally proposed by Dubinin and now officially adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is summarized in Table 1.4.

In the preceding sections it has been shown that in a large number of crystals containing covalent bonds, cited as examples, the number and distribution of the bonds are in good agreement with a classification deduced from quantum mechanical considerations, and, moreover, there exist regularities in the observed interatomic distances which may be expressed by assigning covalent radii to the atoms, dependent in a... 

In the original kNN method, an unknown object (molecule) is classified according to the majority of the class memberships of its K nearest neighbors in the training set (Fig. 13.4). The nearness is measured by an appropriate distance metric (a molecular similarity measure as applied to the classification of molecular structures). It is implemented simply as follows ...

A mathematically very simple classification procedure is the nearest neighbour method. In this method one computes the distance between an unknown object u and each of the objects of the training set. Usually one employs the Euclidean distance D (see Section 30.2.2.1) but for strongly correlated variables, one should prefer correlation based measures (Section 30.2.2.2). If the training set consists of n objects, then n distances are calculated and the lowest of these is selected. If this is where u represents the unknown and I an object from learning class L, then one classifies u in group L. A three-dimensional example is given in Fig. 33.11. Object u is closest to an object of the class L and is therefore considered to be a member of that class. 

A useful tool in the interpretation of SIMCA is the so-called Coomans plot [32]. It is applied to the discrimination of two classes (Fig. 33.18). The distance from the model for class 1 is plotted against that from model 2. On both axes, one indicates the critical distances. In this way, one defines four zones class 1, class 2, overlap of class 1 and 2 and neither class 1 nor class 2. By plotting objects in this plot, their classification is immediately clear. It is also easy to visualize how certain a classification is. In Fig. 33.18, object a is very clearly within class 1, object b is on the border of that class but is not close to class 2 and object c clearly belongs to neither class. 

However, this section pursues particle size measurement and evaluates its importance (as well as density) for the purpose of classifying the suitability of powders for long-distance pneumatic conveying applications. Initially, an appreciation of the fundamentals and the existing powder classification techniques is required. 

Application to Long-Distance Pneumatic Conveying. From the above three classifications, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that powder classification (i.e., to select ultimately the most suitable mode of conveying for a given product and its behavioral properties) depends on the following properties ... 

Based on the previous classifications and discussions, as well as the author s own experiences, it is suggested that the following design procedure and considerations be adopted to provide an initial indication of dense-phase suitability, which as described below also has been found useful in assessing conveying performance over long distances.
